Abstract:

In recent years, fungal infections caused by Candida albicans are increasing, and the development of novel antifungal drugs becomes a hotspot. On basis of antifungal mechanism, the induction of fungus apoptosis has become a new trend for the search of antifungal agents. In this paper, we review comprehensively the drug-induced apoptosis in C. albicans.
